Client

The client is the highest organizational level in the SAP system. It is a self-contained unit that has its own master records and tables. The definition of a client is required. Specifications and data entered at the client level apply to all lower levels like company codes. This ensures consistent data. Users must select a client when logging in, and all their entries are saved within that client. Processing and analysis also occurs per client, so data cannot be combined across different clients like in a dunning run. Access authorizations and user master records are also defined separately for each client.

Definition

A commercially, organizationally, and technically self-contained unit within an SAP System. Clients
have their own master records and set of tables.

The definition of the client organizational unit is obligatory .

Use

The client is the highest level in the SAP System hierarchy. Specifications that you make, or data
that you enter at this level are valid for all company codes and for all other organizational structures.
You therefore only need to make these specifications, or enter this data once. This ensures that the
data is consistent.

Users must enter a client key when they log on to the SAP System. This defines the client in which
they wish to work. All the entries you make are saved per client. Data processing and analysis is
also carried out per client.

Example

This means that you cannot include customer accounts from different clients in one dunning run.

Access authorization is assigned per client. You must create a user master record for each user in
the client where he or she wishes to work.

Note

The SAP System is delivered with the clients 000 and 001 - these clients already contain default
settings. For more information, see Setting Up Clients in Customizing. These sections are
automatically selected when you create your implementation projects (company IMG, project IMG).
